Online Video Interviewing Service to Help Employers Staff Three Million Economic Recovery Plan Jobs
Downsized organizations have a new tool to screen candidates for the three million new jobs proposed in President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. PeopleCurve Systems LLC launched Envoy -- an online video interviewing service that gets important information from job candidates and gives employers tools to decide on which candidates to bring in for onsite visits.
La Jolla, CA, January 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Downsized organizations have a new tool to screen candidates for the three million new jobs proposed in President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. PeopleCurve Systems LLC launched Envoy -- an online video interviewing service that gets important information from job candidates and gives employers tools to decide on which candidates to bring in for onsite visits. Available today, Envoy targets large organizations, including companies pursuing infrastructure and health care information system projects.
“This economic downturn has HR staff members and hiring managers understaffed and overworked,” said Joe Matibag, vice president, PeopleCurve Systems. “These people need new tools to help them quickly staff teams with qualified employees needed to capitalize on the opportunities that President Obama’s plan will provide. The Envoy system speeds the staffing process by eliminating a time consuming task, the telephone interview.”
Many companies use the telephone interview as a key tool in the hiring cycle. The purpose for this call is to determine if a candidate is worthy of bringing in for a site visit.
According to Matibag, “There is a problem today in large companies with being able to schedule and conduct telephone interviews, and then take action based on information gathered on the calls. Telephone interviews are difficult to schedule because current processes require coordination of many busy people. The calls are often unstructured leading to unnecessarily long interviews, and interviews that do not address critical areas. And, decisions are not made or communicated in a timely fashion.”
Through the PeopleCurve Envoy service, employers email qualified candidates a link to a secure website that presents job specific questions. At their convenience, candidates use the site and a webcam to record videos containing answers to the questions. Employers review the answers, compare the candidates, and tell HR which candidates to bring in for onsite visits. Unlike other video interview offerings, Envoy does more than gather information. Envoy makes the information actionable for HR staff members and hiring managers.
Available today as a Software-as-a-Service, Envoy does not require any hardware or installation. Envoy costs employers $50 per recorded interview. There are no costs to candidates.
